Alumni Spotlight: Sarah Edgerly (Class of 2018) We're excited to feature Sarah Edgerly our Alumni Spotlight! What’s your current occupation? Teacher How did your experiences at Sanford help you to reach your educational/professional goals? Wouldn’t have done it without them – still sitting at a desk to date. What was the most valuable lesson that you learned while a student at Sanford? To always be willing to learn through good & bad. What is your fondest memory during your time at Sanford? The pit. Is there anyone in particular who had a major impact during your time at Sanford? A few teachers come to mind; I wasn’t always a “good” kid - I was up and down; a lot of teachers were my lord and savior ensuring my basic needs were met to get me back on track academically. What advice do you have for current Sanford students? Just do it. Just get it done but hold onto every moment and memory possible. It happens so fast and you never know when that is the last time you might see them. Are you a Sanford graduate with a story to share? We want to hear from you! Fill out our alumni spotlight form to be considered for our next feature. Selected spotlights will be shared on our social media channels and district newsletter, inspiring current students and fellow alumni alike.

Employee spotlight! Meet Carl J. Lamb Food Service Manager Debra Mello. How long have you been working in the Sanford School Department? 17 Years What's your favorite part about working in Sanford? My first impression of Sanford 24 years ago was that it is very family friendly. That is still the case. I love working with the kids. What's your favorite TV show or movie? Mostly watch a lot of football! If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be? I asked friends and co-workers for help with this and the three that came up the most are funny, kind and talkative (but in a good way). If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be? England Podcasts or Playlists? Playlists Lake or Ocean? Ocean Sunrise or Sunset? Sunset Facebook or Instagram? Facebook

Three years into its journey, the Walking School Bus Program at Sanford Pride Elementary continues to make strides in building a stronger community and improving attendance. What began as a creative and family-friendly way to ensure students arrive at school safely and on time has blossomed into an engaging morning routine for students, volunteers, and families. Carol Lantagne, the program's coordinator, is there at 7:30 a.m. every morning, always with at least one volunteer. The volunteers meet in the CVS parking lot on Main Street, about a half mile from Sanford Pride Elementary. Read more about it here! https://www.sanford.org/article/1828211

Kindergarten students at Margaret Chase Smith enjoyed a special visit from our local firefighters in honor of Fire Safety Month! The firefighters gave a fun and informative presentation on staying safe during a fire, what signs to look for, and the important gear they wear to prepare themselves. The kids were excited to learn about fire safety and got a firsthand look at the brave work our firefighters do to keep us safe.
